Luke 1:57-80 - The Birth and Naming of John
57Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she had a son. 58Then her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her his great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
59When they came to circumcise the child on the eighth day,they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father. 60But his mother responded, No. He will be called John.
61Then they said to her, None of your relatives has that name. 62So they motioned to his father to find out what he wanted him to be called. 63He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, His name is John. And they were all amazed. 64Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God. 65Fear came on all those who lived around them, and all these things were being talked about throughout the hill country of Judea. 66All who heard about him took it to heart, saying, What then will this child become? For, indeed, the Lords hand was with him.
Zechariahs Prophecy
67Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel,because he has visitedand provided redemption for his people.69He has raised up a horn of salvation for usin the house of his servant David,70just as he spoke by the mouthof his holy prophets in ancient times;71salvation from our enemiesand from the hand of those who hate us.72He has dealt mercifully with our ancestorsand remembered his holy covenant73the oath that he swore to our father Abraham,to grant that we,74having been rescuedfrom the hand of our enemies,would serve him without fear75in holiness and righteousnessin his presence all our days.76And you, child, will be calleda prophet of the Most High,for you will go before the Lordto prepare his ways,77to give his people knowledge of salvationthrough the forgiveness of their sins.78Because of our Gods merciful compassion,the dawn from on high will visit us79to shine on those who live in darknessand the shadow of death,to guide our feet into the way of peace.
